I’m nonetheless engaged on the bed room curtains, so sadly, I gained’t be ending this 12 months on the weblog with this massive challenge marked off of my “to do” record. However I did get one panel completed to the purpose that we will examine the unique model and this new model and see the distinction.
Once I began making these draperies, I made a decision to wrap the trim across the fringe of the forefront of every panel. For some purpose, I assumed utilizing the total width of the trim could be an excessive amount of. However as I shared earlier this week, as soon as the primary panel was virtually completed and I hung it as much as pin the hem, I wasn’t actually happy with the look of the wrapped trim.
So yesterday, I did a complete lot of ripping out seams and eradicating trim. Then I principally began over. I solely received one panel to the purpose that it was prepared to hold, with the pleats completed, in order that I can pin within the hem. And as quickly as I stepped again to have a look, I breathed a sigh of reduction. With the ability to see the total width of the trim seems to be so a lot better to my eye. It has a way more polished {and professional} look to it.
And opposite to my unique concern, I don’t assume it’s too daring in any respect. It undoubtedly helps that I coffee-dyed the trim to tone it down a bit. Had I saved it in its unique brighter orange coloration, I believe it may need been too daring. However with its new toned down colours, I find it irresistible.
So that is the place I’m leaving issues for this 12 months. That doesn’t imply that I gained’t work on the bed room at everywhere in the subsequent two weeks. The truth is, I totally plan to proceed engaged on the bed room over the following two weeks. The distinction is that I gained’t put any stress on myself to get issues achieved each day. If I wish to take a complete time off to learn and watch motion pictures with Matt, that’s what I’ll do. But when I really feel impressed to make an upholstered headboard, I’ll try this. After which I’ll meet y’all again right here on Monday, January fifth, and we’ll choose up proper the place we left off.
I’m slightly bit disillusioned that I didn’t get the bed room suite utterly completed by the top of this 12 months. However on the similar time, I’m very pleased with the work that I did get achieved. This was an enormous challenge, so I’m not going to beat myself up for it taking slightly longer than I had anticipated. As a substitute, I’m going to finish this 12 months wanting again at how far I’ve come.
